heading for Fort Robinson Thursday

[don_vanecek]

Well gang, me and the son in law (he's on a 900 Kaw Vulcan) are leaving my place Thurday morning and heading across Nebraska up to the northwest cornor for Fort Robinson State park-it will be about 430 miles or so, then we plan to find Chimney Rock and swim in Big Mac, spend a night in a cheap motel, then Saturday I want to go to Bailey Yard in North Platte, then get to Kearney that night for a free night with some in laws and then home on Sunday.

I will most likely post a story in a month or so, see what I can create.

Later!

Well, a successfull trip, about 1000-1100 miles (I didn't keep precise records) no real problems.

Hi Don (and everyone else) -

I spent the weekend of October 1 ~ 2 at Agate Fossil Beds National Monument doing some astronomy.  Really dark out there.  Not even a light dome from Scottsbluff!  Could walk around by the light of the Milky Way.

Ended up doing the public outreach program for the Panhandle Astronomy Club on Saturday night.  Amazingly, we had over 30 people show up out there - 25 miles from the nearest town (Harrison).  Most were from Scottsbluff,  about an hour's drive.

Lots of miles of nothing but miles out there.  That's about 40 miles from Ft. Robinson.  Two glorious nights - once the wind died down after midnight.  Fun weekend!
